Online Store Now Open!
We frequently get asked at gun shows and other places we exhibit if we also sell our products online. Now we do!
We've wanted to do it for a long time. We saw students wasting money on junk holsters, belts, purses, etc., bought from some salesman who had never carried a gun for self-defense. My suggestion: Let's save our students' money by recommending quality ccw products that will enhance their training. No more wasting money on products that don't work.
We started by making a list of quality reliable products that our instructors and staff had long-term experience using. After we compiled the list, we published it in the back of the student manual for our LTC Basic Course. Then we started getting a lot of questions like, "Where can I get one of these?" As a result, we started selling those products that have been used and tested by LTC Instructors and Staff over time -- and now, we're excited to announce our new online store!

PRESS RELEASE
Learn To Carry and D.T. Systems Announce Debut of Revolutionary Prototype
A first of its kind in modern defensive firearms training technology.
Columbia, MO - May 24, 2011 - Learn To Carry, LLC, a leader in firearms training, along with DT Systems, LLC, a company specializing in development of remotely-operated vehicles, are excited to introduce a jointly-developed revolutionary robotic target system to the world of defensive firearms training.
Traditionally, the problem with firearms training has always been that the targets seldom move and never shoot back. This shortcoming is resolved with the "RAT," the Robotic Attacking Target. The prototype RAT moves like a bad guy, at variable speeds and directions. It can cover the seven yards of the Tueller drill in 1.5 seconds or faster, and turn from a shoot target to a no-shoot in well under a second. The production version of the RAT will have the option of adding functions including a target that drops when hit center of mass, as well as aim-and-shoot airsoft capabilities.
"We have been able to cause students' minds to react to the RAT by going into 'Fight, Flight or Freeze Syndrome.' By gaining this valuable experience in training, they are much better prepared to handle a real life situation in the future," said Mr. Oliver, Director of Learn To Carry.
Tim Oliver first developed the idea for this type of target system from a WW2 movie on aerial gunnery. Mr. Oliver combined his experience in non-destructive testing of defensive tactics along with modern airsoft equipment. He knew that, through advanced robotics, a target system could be made to move like a person and to shoot back. Mr. Oliver contacted Mike Holloway and Troy Elliott, owners of DT Systems, and the prototype RAT entered development.
